Challenges Faced Before Implementing Seamless Onboarding

Lack of Consistency
Onboarding was manually done, and the process varied from team to team. This inconsistency made it hard to ensure all new hires received the same level of support and resources.

Slow Integration into Teams
New employees often took weeks to get up to speed, impacting their productivity and team dynamics. The time it took to complete paperwork and get access to the necessary tools also delayed their ability to contribute effectively.

Increased Employee Turnover
Without a streamlined onboarding process, employees felt disconnected and unsupported, which led to early exits and a higher turnover rate during the critical first year.

Administrative Burden
HR teams spent an excessive amount of time handling manual processes like paperwork, access setups, and training scheduling, leaving them with little time for other strategic HR tasks.
